Priya Anand on Letting the Model Plan Your Friday Service

Priya Anand in mid-conversation.

Our Senior Operator Correspondent ran an experiment: let ChatGPT plan an entire Friday-night service. The prep list, the station board, the pre-service brief. She walks Samuel through what worked, what didn't, and the prompts she'd refine.

Show notes

Priya Anand wrote one of our most-read pieces of the year: a 70-cover Friday-night service planned entirely by ChatGPT. In this episode she walks Samuel through what she did, what surprised her, and where the model failed.

A working chef’s perspective on what it’s actually like to delegate the structure of service to an AI — and the bit that, in her view, will never delegate.
